Giant Stance - Black (MY26)

Nothing beats that feeling of being one with the trail. Stance helps you tap into it, delivering smooth control with a new aluminium frameset and 130mm of FlexPoint rear suspension featuring a new semi-integrated design. Paired with a 140mm fork and trail-ready features, including a dropper post, it’s everything you need to reach the next level.

Refined trail geometry with a slacker head tube and higher stack creates a stable, confident ride position. The new Contact Switch AT dropper post and long-post compatibility (up to 200mm) gives you room to move on descents. A wide-range 1X drivetrain, powerful 4-piston brakes, and tubeless tyres deliver simple shifting, precise speed control and planted traction—so you don’t just ride the trail, you master it.

Re-engineered FlexPoint rear suspension with a Crest FloTrac TR shock delivers active, consistent performance through 130mm of travel. The single-pivot system boasts the lowest rear-triangle deformation in its class, while new kinematics with a tailored shock spring curve deliver a more linear wheel path. The result is a smooth, predictable feel with unbeatable traction and mid-stroke support. Up front, the dual-air Giant STL 34 suspension fork smooths out rocks and roots, and Unified Suspension Setup makes it easy to dial in your settings.

A new hydroformed ALUXX aluminium chassis is engineered for strength, stiffness, and low weight. Seamless shock integration enhances frame stiffness and delivers a more connected ride feel. A smooth cockpit-to-frame transition with integrated spacers keeps the front end clean, while flush cable guides help ensure quiet performance. Convertible internal/external routing adds adaptability, resulting in a sleek, precise, trail-ready frame that rides as sharp as it looks.
